Put the control module on a horizontal surface to make sure the white light illuminates the pressure
gauge. Make sure the readings on the graphical display and analog gauge are consistent with the
cylinder pressure within ±5 percent (110/2216 psi, 225/4500 psi, 275/5500 psi).
Both RESET buttons on the control module have the same function. Use one button to reset the
motion alarm and the other button to test the manual alarm.
To test correct operation of the HUD, control module, power module, and low-pressure warning
device, monitor the control module gauge and display when an alarm occurs.
